Projector and 22" LCD or 42"Plasma

Heres the scenario:

Looking for some new big screen entertainment, and had convinced myself to buy a samsung 42" plasma. However I 'borrowed' works new projector and managed to get a 9ft screen on my plain white wall :-D.

Fiancee has hinted that big screen plasmas are chavvy when not in use:? , dominating a wall, but liked that the projector was a small item that was inconspicous when not in use.

I am erring to a 22" Lcd for TV use, and go for the projector for dvds, sports and 360.

I run a Panasonic projector at around 120" and a Panasonic 42" plasma. I love the projector to pieces and it creates an atmosphere just not possible with a 42" screen. But given the choice of just one or the other I'd probably go for the plasma :-(

What type of projector did you 'borrow' and what sort of price range would the projector have to fall into? The main factor to take into account with the projector of course is bulb lifespan and cost of replacements. A lot of my friends know I have a projector yet not one person has walked into my living room and been able to spot where it is, so I know exactly what you're fiancee means by inconspicuous!

The works projector is a sub £500 epson with 2100 lumens ANSI, so not pricey. and the replacements bulbs are £85 ea. And the picture quality was surprisingly good, Gears of War looked great, the rugby also looked great.

Save the planet and go for the projector, personally i would go for the projector because its small and compact but you can get a massive screen for all of your friends to marvell at. Whats the lighting like in the room you use it in? What kind of sound system do you have hooked up to it? Is the projector in a place where people will walk in front of it?
